Michelle Obama is a national treasure. A woman who's intelligent, kind, poised and stylish, our FLOTUS is a woman worth looking up to. And whenever we actually grow up, we hope to be just like her. So today, in honor of her 49th birthday, we've put together a little post of some of our very…

President Obama and Joe Biden laid out their gun control plan at the White House today, calling for a $500 million program in front of a number of children who had written the president asking that he tackle gun violence. Biden got the first word, boasting that his team had consulted 229 groups, from law…

Attention, American public: The White House has seen your petitions about building a Death Star, investigating the feasibility of building the Enterprise, and giving each state an official Pokémon. In one case they even responded in a particularly awesome way. But now they have another message for you: Cut it out,…

Aww! The Obamas are SO CUTE together! During last night's ABC News interview, Barbara Walters got all nosy and asked them, "How do you keep the fire going?" The look on President Obama's face and his awkward laugh told Babs all she needed to know about that. I don't want to know [I do. -- Editor] what…

"We’ve endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years. And each time I learn the news I react not as a President, but as anybody else would -- as a parent. And that was especially true today. I know there’s not a parent in America who doesn’t feel the same overwhelming grief…

In case you missed it, here is President Obama's beautiful speech, delivered at last night's vigil for those killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on Friday, which took the lives of six educators and 20 6- and 7-year-old children. "Are we prepared to say that such violence visited on our children year after…

In case you needed more proof that our president is awesome, check out this clip of Zachary Quinto, who plays Spock in the most recent round of "Star Trek" movies, describing the first time he met President Obama on the campaign trail. "He gave me the ... Vulcan salute," Quinto explains, "And I was like,…

With apologies to Jackie O, I think Michelle Obama is the most stylish first lady this country has ever had, and her fashion choices just keep getting better. Case in point: the stunning Michael Kors gown she donned for the Kennedy Center Honors last night. With its glittering gold fabric and jeweled neckline, it's a…

It is fairly common knowledge that getting older directly corresponds with getting weirder. Karl Lagerfeld was pretty fucking weird to begin with, but now, at 79, I think it's safe to say that the longtime Chanel designer is the weirdest. The Kaiser may not consider himself a "political person," but he did take…

This might be one of the cutest photos of the president ever -- here with Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney, both of them giving their very best "not impressed face." We can only imagine all the things Obama might be not impressed with after this election season ...

1. Our social media kicked your Super Pac's ass. Sheldon Adelson, called by The New York Times, "the biggest single donor in political history" backed eight conservative Republican candidates through Super Pacs. None of them won. People have been wondering when America would have its social media driven "Arab Spring"? This was it. 2. Karl Rove's $300 millio…

This isn't funny, per se. But The Frisky staff still laughed when we found out a 22-year-old woman who called President Obama the n-word on Facebook and then told a news station she would not mind if he got assassinated has been fired from her job ... at Cold Stone Creamery. First of all, HOW…

Oh, Lord, this made me cry. Yesterday, President Obama addressed his campaign staff at their Chicago headquarters in a very touching speech. It started with how impressed he is with them and the great things they are sure to accomplish in the future. But halfway through, the president's voice wavers and tears start rolling down his cheeks.

Originally appeared on Role/Reboot. Republished here with permission. It’s over. For a while, I managed to hold it together. There was pie to eat and wine to drink and a couch to sink gratefully into. There were friends to laugh with and sigh with, dishes to clean up, and an 8am meeting o…

Barack Obama came out on top in last night's history-making election, and we couldn't be happier (or more sedated — it takes a lot of Valium to get through that vote count). Of course, our president is the first to say that he'd never have gotten where he is without his girls behind him,…

You watched President Obama's victory speech? Now it's time for Key and Peele's victory speech as Obama and his "anger translator" Luther. A lot of us would be as enthusiastic as Luther right now if weren't so goddamn tired after last night. Mila Kunis is going to produce a drama called "Meridian Hills" set in the…

Considering I thought it was very possible that we might not know who won the election until this morning or even days from now, I guess I should be grateful that the thing that kept me up waaaaaay past my bedtime was waiting for Gov. Mitt Romney to deliver his concession speech and President Obama…

Though a few states are still too close to call, Barack Obama's win in Ohio has secured him the presidency for another four years, defeating Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Check out our liveblog of all the returns and check out the site tomorrow for more election coverage. Forward!

Well, our long national nightmare known as ELECTION SEASON is almost over. Later tonight, we will (probably) know who will be the President of the United States for the next four years. Will Barack Obama secure himself another term? Or will Mitt Romney succeed in getting me to move to Mexico? In additio…

Simply Irresistible

Taking a page out of those girls you went to high school with who can't stop smugly posting every detail of their perfect lives on Facebook, Lady Gaga shaded America's youngest grandma Taylor Swift just perfectly on Twitter yesterday. It all started when Jaime King's unborn child's godmother tweeted about Gaga, using the preferred…

Oh look, it's hottest DILF alive, Ryan Gosling, making a rare appearance in public grabbing lunch in LA today. And what's that I see? In addition to his perfectly worn T-shirt (that collar is stretched just so), hoodie and leather jacket, the Gos is rocking a few faint letters on his knuckles, spelling out the…
